日本食 (Japanese food)

日本食を作るため、日本食の食材を買いに隣町へ高速に乗り10分、小さなスーパーと言う感じ日本食用のものは何でも揃っているが数は少ない、刺身用マグロ、煮魚、その他魚介類、調味料、お菓子、インスタント食品、etc、大根、ごぼう等日本独特野菜、さすがに肉類、野菜、果物は値段で勝負出来ない為か置いていない。日本製のタバコマイルドセブンを買ってみたが1カートン7,400円もしてびっくり日本の倍以上だ、聞くところによると州によてタバコの値段はまちまちとのこと、ちなみに日本では表示してあるタバコのタール量とニコチン量の表示は記載されていませんでした。
Went to a Japanese store. We took a highway and it took about 10 minutes to get there. The Japanese store we went was like a mini-supermarket and it had many different items but numbers were few. There were tuna for "sashimi", boiled fish, shell fish, Japanese condiments, snacks, frozen food, daikon, gobou, etc. It didn't have too many meat, other vegetable, fruits - I think for these items, they couldn't compete other stores for price wise. I bought Japanese cigarettes called "Mild Seven". But surprised to find out it cost 7,400 Yen for 1 carton. The price was about twice as much as Japan! I heard that cigarette price varies state by state. Also, when I buy "Mild Seven" in Japan, the package tells the amount of tar and nicotine but the one I bought here didn't say anything.
